Every Olympics (and world cup) presages the mass brutalization of vulnerable people, and I gotta wonder: do people really care that much about shotput?

I don't think so. That whole website is premised on an elementary logical fallacy. Just because a news source is left- or right-leaning doesn't make it inherently less trustworthy than a "centrist" one, in fact all you've done is introduce your own untrustworthy ideological bias into the judgement criteria by proactively dismissing anyone who doesn't align with your definition of centrism.

This flew over your head but it is heavily implied that the US' "war on opium" was in fact a deliberate effort to subsidize opium production and transport, a policy that we have pursued for the benefit of our own state-backed terror organizations in many other countries. Regardless of all other opinions on the US and the Taliban, this is an issue that the Taliban is objectively better than us on, and saying "lol who cares" is not an argument against talking about it since obviously the people in this thread care because they're in here talking about it.

without being attacked.

Not that she hasn't been attacked constantly before and after the GN video, mind.

Sounds to me like LMG should unionize or something but I'm no expert.

I guess this is the response I was expecting. Easy propaganda win and they probably won't send him back for free.

I fear that experimenting with FF14 mods may have given me powers that no man should possess. I now seamlessly switch between multiple characters at the press of a button, I can wear anything I want and scale my character to any ridiculous size I can imagine. My characters can have any combination of wings, tails, and horns in an instant to please the whims of my inner teenager. If I don't like you I'm only a few short commands away from turning your character into an actual toad. I fear the ninjas are closing in on my location, but my hubris has become too great - I cannot stop now, not when I have the power of a developer in the palm of my hands.

I think with the principles Lemmy was made under the fracturing of the community into blocs is basically inevitable. You'll have the original/developer/"tankie" bloc at lemmy.ml, the more mainstream/liberal bloc at lemmy.world, and all the smaller instances orbiting around and between them some connected to both and some connected to neither.

To do something like you suggest would require a single, centralized instance that lists all the others and tags them to allow users to pick which ones to subscribe to - and if the Lemmy devs did that then we'd be right back to the problems inherent to

My parents got a brand new 2023 Sienna and the check engine light is already on - because the windshield wiper fluid is empty.

Haven't watched this yet but yeah you can really feel how rushed LTT videos are these days compared to the past.

Any citizen with at least two endorsements from other citizens.

I thought of this too, and then I realized that wheelchair users are completely fucked by this decision.

The difference is that everyone in China can vote.

That was Legends: Arceus. But it still didn't sell nearly as well as Sword+Shield or Scarlet+Violet did.

tbh the Pokemon Company could probably not change a thing and keep churning out the same slop for fifty more years and still be the largest franchise on the planet.

edit:

The way they tell it, you'd think everything from DW, to Fox, to Propublica, to straight up AP News articles, are all written by the same people.

It's funny you mention this, since 90% of major American news articles are just slightly edited versions of AP articles.

the instance is less than a month old, yet somehow they already have one of the largest, most active userbases

we've been around, but not federated, for a couple years now.

As far as fictional societies to live in goes it's hard to beat an optimistic sci fi setting lmao.

Although I might choose the Ascian civilization from FF14, as long as it's before the Final Days. Eternal life and post scarcity powered by magic, and the way most people self actualize is by literally creating life like gods. If it's early enough I would travel to other planets myself and possibly avert the apocalypse altogether.
